The Red Pen

I just submitted my last 2 grad school applications to Denver & Portland. Woohoo! This is therefore the appropriate time to express my gratitude to my dear friend Denise.

Ode to my Editor

Essays to answer,
No clue what to write.
So crap I threw together,
In the space of one night.

Your kind honesty was tough to hear,
But I needed it so I could write something clear.
The hours you spent, I'll never know,
But your devotion to me, as pure as the snow.

So thanks, my friend, for your honest critique.
Without you, I'd have been up a creek.
